IT'S a question that features prominently on the minds of all homeowners - "how much is my house going to be worth in the future?"

Well new research into the future of the UK property market by eMoov.co.uk has mapped out what house prices could be across Scotland by 2030.

The online estate agents looked at the increase in UK property values between 2000 and 2015 and found prices had increased by 84% during that time.

After applying the same increase across each area of England, Scotland and Wales, the agents were able to project how much the average property could cost in 15 years' time.

The formula suggests the projected average house price across Scotland's regions in 2030 is the cheapest of the three countries at £297,222.

Edinburgh is the highest priced location in Scotland at £432,468, with Aberdeenshire the only other Scottish location to break the £400,000 mark (£417,410).

North Lanarkshire offers the best value for Scottish buyers in 2030, with prices at At £200,600.

Russell Quirk, founder and CEO of eMoov.co.uk said: "The past 15 years have seen extreme growth in the price commanded for UK property, as well as a crash as a direct result of this inflated growth.

"Although this research is only a projection of what may happen by 2030, it is safe to assume that with prices continuing to spiral beyond affordability, history could well repeat itself.

"Although rising prices are always good news for current homeowners, it’s extremely worrying to look at the difficulty many have in getting on the ladder at the moment, let alone with a price jump of 84% by 2030."
